Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has chosen to form a unity government with Hamas. Congressmen Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01), Doug Lamborn (CO-05), and Jim Jordan (OH-04) released the following statement: “The kidnapping of these innocent teenagers, including an American citizen, is despicable. The United States government should provide any resources necessary to assist in their safe return. Until these three are safely returned, the United States should suspend any aid to the Palestinian Authority. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the kidnapped children.” Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-08) said, “It is my sincere prayer that these precious teens are safely returned immediately. In the strongest terms possible, I fully support Israel's right to defend itself against all those who seek to do her harm, including this new unity government with Hamas, a long-standing terrorist organization.” ### Contacts: Erin Montgomery, Press Secretary Office of Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01) 202-225-5311 erin.montgomery@mail.house.gov Jarred Rego, Communications Director Office of Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05) 719-520-0055 jarred.rego@mail.house.gov Ray Yonkura, Chief of Staff Office of Congressman Jim Jordan (OH-04) 202-225-2676 ray.yonkura@mail.house.gov Ben Carnes, Communications Director Office of Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-08) 202-225-4576 ben.carnes@mail.house.gov | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
